If we're throwing caution completely to the wind, my dream irresponsible product probably made in China would be a usb powered hotplate I can use to keep my cup of coffee warm at my desk. I would pay moneys for this and burn my house down so that I didn't have to get up to use the microwave all the time.

Just keep in mind that if it's within USB 2 spec it'll only provide 2.5 watts of energy to your mug at best, maybe keeping it tepid if you're lucky. Most likely it'll try to draw 1 amp or maybe even 1.5, which would still only be up to 5 or 7.5 watts. You might get it to pleasant drinking temperatures if you're lucky. Really, the biggest risk with USB hotplates is burning out the USB power lines in your motherboard.

Has anyone bought an electic guitar from there? I know they are knockoffs, but they at least look decent from the pictures.

No, but electric guitars are a thing where build (and material) quality matters quite a lot in a lot of places, so I honestly wouldn't. If you really want to experiment, maybe buy a decent used guitar and try replacing out one of the pickups from Aliexpress or something.

Have no idea how many strands it had inside, but it felt the exact same as AliExpress paracord, and it was just about as thick as a normal USB cable, maybe slightly more? It's good enough for most uses, really, except probably parachuting

Black Feather posted:Well, looks like I found my weekend project. I’m guessing the reason is that she went to IKEA, but they didn’t have the thing she was looking for, and she didn’t want to leave empty handed after going all that way so ended up buying one of those huge bags of tea lights. At least, that’s how I ended up with a drawer full of the useless things.

Like lolwhat I am going to pay 50 bucks for 3 bucks worth of crap yeah gently caress you. Ok, weird follow-up to that story. Today was the last day I could get this package from the post office. Of course I didn't go, not at that price. Instead I open my mailbox, and what's inside? The package, no strings attached. Didn't have to sign or pay anything. ?????? Did they realise I'm not going to pay, and went "ah, gently caress it"? I. have. no. clue.

Here’s something I haven’t seen on Aliexpress before: stupidly expensive costumes. There is a lot of these so I just picked ones that have an order because I can’t comprehend spending that amount of money blindly on Aliexpress (even if it is in poor AU dollars), especially given how much the quality can vary on $10-20 items. Good doggy?  Sexy robot with devil horns  Gothic Elizabethan dress up  Another one

That poo poo is probably latex fetish wear, which is notoriously expensive. Those outfits still look kinda overpriced though.
